Celui qui plante un arbre plante un espoir
Première strophe en anglais :
Planter un arbreHe who plants a tree
Clear DotPlants a hope.
Clear DotRootlets up through fibres blindly
Clear Dotgrope;
Leaves unfold into horizons free.
Clear DotSo man’s life must climb
Clear DotFrom the clods of time
Clear DotUnto heavens sublime.
Canst thou prophesy, thou little tree,
What the glory of thy boughs shall
Clear Dot be?
